    Joyetech eVic-VTC Mini vs VaporFlask Stout

    I have both the VTC mini and the stout. The stout is a nice device, but it is seriously hamstrung by the lack of good 26650s available on the market. Because of this, 100 Watts is unreasonable to expect. From my experience, batteries that don't have enough current handling capacity (CDR) will...

    Just want to make sure this is safe?

    Dull brick to cherry red is fine with ti in terms of temperature color. The surface of the coil usually won't develop dioxides until you start to approach welding temperatures, I.e. when the coil starts to move from bright cherry into the golden/straw range of colors. You can tell if you...

    The inorganic atomizer: steel mesh revisited

    I'll check out the RSST. My friend gave me an RSST-C, and I'm working on modifying the cartridges to be more easily rebuildable, I'm positive the wicks I roll are better than these Goldberg-ian coil heads. Anyone with a 22mm kraken want to talk about it?

    RDA Uwell Rafale X

    So the center pin is isolated, allowing you to run coils in series... I guess this just begs the question: why not just wind coils that are twice as long and not have to screw aound with additional coil legs and connections? A 2p/2s coil setup is the same as a 2p setup in the same gauge, just...

    RDA Best rda ?

    There isn't one. Look around, read reviews and realize your first RDA or RTA won't be your last.

    Kanthal Coils touch and TC coils are spaced yes?

    Contact coils are fine with SS, kanthal, and ti, provided they have an oxide layer. You are partially correct about ti, but the color range you want to avoid while pulse firing to create an insulating oxide layer is at the top of the straw-colored range of heat, dull cherry is fine with ti. The...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    26awg 316l SS around SS mesh. Easily my tamest build at .45 ohms, but is well suited to the Veritas since it is about as restrictive I can go for a direct to lung atty. I quit doing complex builds since while I think they look nice, they are a placebo and take too long to make for me to bother...

    The inorganic atomizer: steel mesh revisited

    I've been thinking a lot about wicking recently, since I am just about convinced it is more important than coil surface area when it comes to flavor and vapor production. Stay with me for a moment here. The wick volume to heat flux, and wick efficiency are probably the most important variables...

    Vape Forward Stout thread

    Update on my stout. I bought the stout in black a week and a half ago or so. I went in to my local B&M to get some juice and brought the stout along with me, thinking about getting lite in stainless if they have one (the light has a much better battery door as well as selection of available...

    Welp, the RX200 does 250W now...

    I wonder if that is a new development, since the batch of VTC4s I got ~6 mo ago has been fantastic in my mechs. I definitely trust Mooch, as he has a lot of equipment I don't have, as well as time and effort to graciously donate to the rest of us.

    why do people choose a mech over regulated?

    There is absolutely a limit to the current you can run in a mech. This is determined by the continuous discharge rating (CDR) of the cell, and if the mech in question is serial or parallel if it uses more than one battery. Knowing battery safety is especially important using a mech because there...

    Welp, the RX200 does 250W now...

    The VTC4 is a 30 amp cell. I use mine at 30 amps (.14 ohm on a mech) and they barely get warm. You may be thinking about the VTC5, which is commonly quoted as a 30 amp cell, but is rated for 20 amps continuous by Sony.

    -High-End Mechanicals and Atomizers-Pictures & Discussion Round 2-

    Tarsius Customs brass/SS 4Nine #551, RJMod Cats RDA #1077, quad coil 32 awg kanthal @ .5 ohms. The cats is easily has the nicest finishing out of any atomizer I own; the 510 threads are so smooth it overtightens and gets stuck on every mod I own if I'm not careful. Every part fits snug with no...

    How to enjoy vaping outside?

    I used to smoke pipe and letting the smoke hang in your mouth and trickle out as you inhale slightly through your nose brings out so many more flavors. My poor neglected briar. You've never encountered removal of privacy as a punishment before? To the OP I vape to get nicotine; the nicotine...

    RDA Good single coil dripper

    Be careful you don't build exactly like that. The coil leg lead coming off of the positive post is precariously close to shorting to the deck. The veritas is a great single coil atty. I have mine wicked with SS mesh right now. I'm enjoying mesh a lot more than I thought I would. I may have...

    Vape Forward Stout thread

    I have a VTC mini and an original lipo VT 60, and a stout. I've spent a week with the yihi sx330j, and a few days with my friends snow wolf 200. Tuned correctly with a well-built, electrically stable atty they all greatly reduce the chances of burning a wick. I use 316l SS or grade 0 ti for TC...

    MY SETUP GETS HOT (Noob builder here) PLS HELP!!

    If you feel the excess heat is originating in the mod, JMarca had an extremely relative point in your batteries not having the current handling capacity (as determined by true CDR) for their use. Excess heat in your batteries is indicative they are being stessed. Keep an eye in them, but that...

    What Mech ya sportin today ?

    SXK veritas on a cloned black ceracoat copper stingray. The switch is 1:1, threading is great, floating 510 has a huge positive contact. The bottom of the switch doesn't have any engravings, just copper. I have a .48 ohm 24 guage ni80 single vertical coil in it and... Surprise! It's wicked...
